[aisle] Next school year...from home?

[Westbrook, Kristin]

Hello! If you find it would be possible for a student to help, my son would
be dependable and available during Raider Hour. He spent his junior high
study hall period with me, in my library, so I know the boy knows his way
around the stacks. He's in big trouble if not, lol. If that's an
opportunity you would like to take advantage of you can contact me through
my home email (kwestb78 at gmail.com). This boy of mine is crazy responsible
or I wouldn't offer him up. Now, his two younger bros? I would never do
that to you! haha
